Also known as "Hot pockets" by the gothic community who loathe to include said hot pockets but feel they must through some vague desire to progenerate and keep the culture going. Hot Pockets are considered a very sad perversion of a good (or bad, depending on your point of view) thing.
Goth 1: Do we really have to let these hot topic goths into the club? That has GOT to be a fake ID. The kid looks 12.
Goth 2: Yes. We have to pay for the club somehow, and the Hot Pockets have quite a bit of daddy's money to spend.
Goth 1: *le sigh*

Bands who sell merch at Hot Topic and pander to bandwhore teenage girls. They are cliche "pop punk" or "post hardcore" by title. They all sound alike and their fans like them for the sake of band fandom, hence why their fanbases are all like "omg bandz omg lelelele so coot"
All Time Low , Pierce the Veil , Sleeping with Sirens , Forever the Sickest Kids , all that SHIT. Hot topic metal

A clothing store located in your nearest crappy mall. It has nothing to do with rebelling or being "original." I shop at Hot Topic because I love music. Not because I'm a "goth/emo" who's trying to rebel against socitey. The store motto is "All about the music" and I want a T-shirt with my favorite band on it, thanks. But when I go to the mall I go to Hot Topic, American Eagle, Aeropostle, and Hollister. And if that makes me a poser or whatever the crap you want to call it then hey I'll say it, "I'M A POSER!" It's a store. Just like American Eagle or Hollister or any other "preppy store." A way to waste your money on clothes that you'll only wear for two months because after three you're daddy will have to buy you a knew one becase "OMG, this shirt so old. It's so last season. I just don't think I can bare to wear it anymore!"
"Hey, let's go to Hot Topic or any other store in the mall and spend all our money on clothes we'll never wear" *skips away merrily*

Person #1: "Look at preppy guy wearing Abercrombie! God, I would never want to look like all THOSE people!
Person #2: "Yeah, let's go to hottopic and buy some baggy black pants and studded belts to really stand out!"
Abercrombi wearer: *Jams out to Napalm Death on his way to the bar to get some fine ass*
